My dad loved West Point. It felt like it was his primary focus and topic of choice during our youth. In fact his love for it caused me to not view West Point with great admiration. While West Point has felt like a thorn in my side I know it was very important to my father and I owe him the acknowledgment of this love and to honor him on their website, TAPS, and with his surviving classmates. My dad was very active with attending his West Point reunions (there were plans in place to get him to his upcoming 65th reunion in May 2014), writing obituaries, and local chapter involvement. While his mental acuity was compromised by Dementia over the last few years his memory of West Point was always there. My dad was a great man, a loving father and will be greatly missed. I wish him safe passage and that he is able to meet up with all those people, who passed before him, that he has loved during his life on earth. I'm sure if there is a West Point society in heaven he is already involved. See you later dad- Love Carolyn
